THE MISSING CANOEIST STORY

THE MISSING CANOEIST STORY

Hello ¡

This is the story of a man that had disappeared for a long and everybody thought he was dead but he wasn’t, he had a big business going on along with his wife.

While o was making this video I was able to practice the passive voice and I learned some vocabulary, like: 

Video; On the Road

ON THE ROAD

Hey there! Here are two really funny stories about people on the road. The first one is by Mitch Heller while on his vacations in Europe and the second one is from Jonathan Freeland from his  cheap summer trip. 

This is the vocabulary I learned from this video:

*hire

*set off

*beaming smile

*wound down 

Video; Midnight Drive

MIDNIGHT DRIVE

Hi Dear People!

This is a really interesting story about a little four year old boy who drove his mother´s car to a video store. Hope this will never happen to you! 

While on this video i was able to practice the past perfect continuous to describe some of the main actions in the story.  Such as the police officer and the boy´s mother´s role.  

I also learned vocabulary related to the vehicle:

*engine (pronunciation)

*gear

*overtake

*Stalling

*steer

*reckless

*move off

* reversing  

Video: A song of Freedom

A SONG OF FREEDOM

Hello everybody! This is a really cool story about slaves back before the civil war in the United States and how this people would find their way to freedom. 

What I learned from this reading was mostly about history, since this was a part of the country that I really didn´t have a clue about. I also had the chance to practice the used of “used to” and “would”.  Along with some vocabulary such as:

*reclaim

* Riverbank

Video; The Davinci code

AN EXCERPT

THE DAVINCI CODE

This is a part of the book, and it´s quiet interesting. I really liked it. And I consider it isn´t difficult to read and understand since I was able to infer most of the vocabulary I didn´t know. 

What I learned while making this video was how to organize the information so that it would be easy for me to present it without missing out details; since it is a descriptive text and details are important. Especially when it comes to talk about a book.

Vocabulary:

*reshuffled/ruffling

*traced by

*belching

*wheezing

* idling

*flicked

* ducked

*sailing 

Video; A short story

A short story 

Hello there! 

This is a video about the adventure a couple of travelers had while on their trip. Hope you enjoy it. 

Reflection: 

In this video I practice the use of the gerunds, and the “used to” and “would”. The vocabulary  I learned: 
*while on the road.

pull off (from the main road)

Pull up (when driving to a place from a non-big road.)
*fentch: to get sth.
